Ambush Marketing

The Event Organiser does not permit or support any activity that may be determined as ambush marketing. This will include the handing out of flyers, the placement of posters, the distribution of products or any material considered unauthorised.

Anyone caught using, holding or dealing illegal substances will be treated the same way as anywhere else. Sniffer dogs have tickets to People's Choice BASSINTHEGRASS too!

Big Screen

Cameras

Still cameras are permitted but no tape recorders, movie or video cameras will be allowed inside the venue.

Clothing

Clothes... you should wear some. Oh, and perhaps some sensible shoes too. Avoid wearing jewellery that could potentially harm yourself or others.

Please be advised that no patrons will be permitted into Darwin Amphitheatre without appropriate attire including footwear. Any patron attempting to enter the venue without a shirt on will be refused entry.

First Aid

There will be St John Ambulance officers inside the venue to treat people who are genuinely ill or have injured themselves on the day.

In some cases we may need to clear a path or area and security may need to react quickly. Please follow the directions of St John, Police, Security or event staff if required, as someone’s safety may depend on it – maybe your own.
